The Hotel La Cachette has been refurbished in recent years, with modern and classic interiors, along with large windows that look out to the piste and village, this is a great choice for your skiing holiday.

Great location 

If you’re looking for a resort that connects you with your environment, Hotel La Cachette does just that. Located at the top of the Arc 1600 funicular, the hotel is in a prime location in the village, as well as being surrounded by some amazing scenery. Whether you plan on spending your time inside or outside, the hotel does a brilliant job of inviting nature into all corners of its property. Enjoy panoramic views of the mountains from the bedroom's large balconies, or head off down to the slopes with their virtually ski-in ski-out access from the terrace – snow dependant of course.

Lounge and bar

Take a moment to rest by cosying up in the hotel lounge. Accompanied by an open fireplace as well as floor to ceiling windows, enjoy the views of the outside from the comfort of a couch. If you’re looking for something livelier then head over to the bar area, open to guests and the general public. Here you’ll find a wide selection of drinks, hot or cold, and a variety of healthy snacks – perfect for an after ski refuel.

Wellness and Spa facilities

With access to a sauna and hot tub both indoors and outdoors, we encourage you to cherish a moment of relaxation, whatever the weather. Take advantage of the outdoor spa area, overlooking the Haute-Tarentaise Mountains, from Mont Blanc to the Beaufortain peaks, or visit the indoor fitness room with advanced TECHNOgym equipment. And if you fancy treating yourself to a massage during your holiday, Hotel La Cachette provides 3 wellness cabins all with natural lighting and views of the French Alps, as well as a duo room providing services from experts and therapists.

You can access all of the villages with a shuttle bus running throughout the day.

The Les Arcs-Vallandry Ski Area is Europe's first B-Corp-accredited ski resort. B-Corp evaluates a company's impact on the planet and people, and it is given to companies which meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and responsibility. The goal is to transform the global economy to benefit all individuals, communities, and the environment. As well as being B-Corp accredited, Les Arcs also have two Flocon Vert snowflakes, demonstrating the resorts commitment to environmental preservation, highlighting its dedication to sustainable development. The resort has done a number of things to achieve these accreditations including using more sustainable fuel in snow groomers and providing a car-free resort, plus all visitors who arrive by rail will also have free access to the funicular. With a new purchasing policy for the resort, almost 90% of its purchases are in the local Rhône-Alpes region. There has also been a focus on regreening the mountain area by planting trees and restoring wetland areas.
